1. James and Lily’s Son (Belle)

Just a little introduction song to get into the spirit of OotP. Don’t be confused when Harry’s at the Dursleys’ for the next song after this one… it’s at Hogwarts because I think it sums up the mood of the book nicely this way.

HARRY:
Wizard school in a wizard village
Steeped in magic and history
Same old school with the same old people
Who all think that they know me.

VARIOUS PEOPLE:
Hello!
Hello!
Hello!
Hello!
Hello!

HARRY:
There goes Professor Snape, in black like always
Same old assignments—half a ton.
And his sneer remains the same
Since the moment that I came
And he labeled me as James and Lily’s son.

SNAPE: (Spoken) Mr. Potter.

HARRY: (Spoken) Sir?

SNAPE: (Spoken) Where are you off to, boy?

HARRY: (Spoken) Er… the library?

SNAPE: (Spoken) A likely story. I’ve got my eye on you.

ALL:
Look there he goes, he makes me so uneasy
I know I’m not the only one.
Well, they say that people change
It appears that he’s gone strange.
What a pity for poor James and Lily’s son.

VARIOUS PEOPLE:
Hello.
Hey there!
D’you do your homework?
Hey there
Hello!
That broom’s so cool.
I love your shoes
I love your hairdo.

HARRY:
They don’t know what’s out there beyond this school!

DRACO: (Spoken) Ahhh, Potter.

HARRY: (Spoken) Malfoy.

DRACO: (Spoken) You had any funny dreams lately? Any fainting spells?

HARRY: (Spoken) Not since yesterday.

DRACO: (Spoken) Not since yesterday? That long without publicity? How do you survive, Potter?

HARRY: (Spoken) Shove off, Malfoy.

DRACO: (Spoken) Careful, wouldn’t want to see an article in the headlines about how you’re treating your fellow students these days, would we?

ALL:
Look there he goes, that boy’s turned so peculiar
After that tournament he won.
With a pained and wearied look
Like his scar’s about to cook
What a troubled soul is James and Lily’s son.

HARRY:
Oh, isn’t this exciting?
It’s like everyone is slightly scared of me.
Still, it’s not so surprising
Given what the Prophet’s published on page three!

SEAMUS:
Now, it’s no wonder he’s gone odd, that Potter
His life can’t be a lot of fun.
But although I sympathise
There’s that weird look in his eyes
That is nothing like the rest of us.

ALL:
He’s different from the rest of us
He isn’t normal, James and Lily’s son.

(On the Quidditch pitch, the Gryffindors are trying to practice, and Draco’s in the stands taunting them.)

RON: (Spoken) I got it! I got it Harry! (He misses the Quaffle and falls off his broom) Ow.

DRACO: (Spoken) You can’t save a thing, can you, Weasley? That’s what we love about you. You’re our favourite Gryffindor in the whole school.

HARRY: (Spoken) Can’t you get lost, Malfoy?

RON: (Spoken) It’s true, Harry. I can’t do this. You don’t know how it is, none of those Slytherins stand a chance against you. And no girls, for that matter.

HARRY: (Spoken) I hope so, because I have my sights set on that one.

RON: (Spoken) What, the girl who’s crying to herself and not looking at you?

HARRY: (Spoken) Yep, she’s the one.

RON: (Spoken) But she’s…

HARRY: (Spoken) The most beautiful girl in the school, I know. I’m going to go talk to her right n—

SNAPE: (Spoken) Mr. Potter, into my office, please.

HARRY: (Spoken) But—

SNAPE: (Spoken) Now.

SNAPE:
Right from the moment that I met him, saw him
I wished I owned a great big gun.
In this school there’s only he
I loathe more than I loathe me.
And it’s all because he’s James and Lily’s son.

GIRLS:
Look there he goes, what’s up with Harry?
Sure, he can fly, he’s kind of cute
But still, his temper’s just so scary
If I saw him, I’d take a different route.

PERSON 1:
Hello!

HARRY:
Goodbye.

PERSON 2:
Nice day.

PERSON 3:
Hey, man.

PERSON 4:
Hey, where’s you get that?

PERSON 5:
Here, taste this mate?

PERSON 6:
Hello!

PERSON 7:
What’s up?

PERSON 8:
Hi, you.

HARRY:
S’cuse me…

PERSON 9:
Let’s have a duel!

HARRY:
Please let me through!

PERSON 10:
Your mum--

PERSON 9:
Your dad--

PERSON 10:
She’s fat!

PERSON 9:
He’s poor!

PERSON 9 and PERSON 10:
Man, you’ll regret that!

HARRY:
They don’t know what’s out there beyond this school!

SNAPE:
Just like your dad, you think you’re just so cool!

ALL:
Look there he goes, the boy is strange, no question
He has been since the year begun.
Ever since that Cedric died
It’s as though his brain’s been fried.
And he really is a moody boy
A hero but a moody boy
There’s something up with James and Lily’s son!


2. No Matter What
And here we pick up at the start of the book, where Harry is lying on his back outside the flowerbed, trying to listen to the news! This is one of those songs that was added for the Broadway musical version of Beauty and the Beast.

VERNON:
No, we’re not odd, it’s true
No family could be saner
Except those Potters, who… well, frankly, they don’t count.
In everything we do
We couldn’t make it plainer
We’re blessed with normalcy in copious amounts.

HARRY:
And it’s quite clear that they don’t get along with me.

VERNON:
Stop watching telly, boy!
Find someone to annoy.
Get out right now—
I’ll count to three!

HARRY:
No matter what I do
It’s never right.
I’ve gotten used to that
I don’t put up a fight.
There’s things a lot worse in my life
Than spending every summer here
That much is clear—
No matter what.

VERNON:
No matter what we do
I’m always proud
That we are careful
Not to go against the crowd.
It’s my intention that convention
Should be rigidly obeyed
We’ve never strayed
No matter what.

HARRY:
Now, some may say the Dursleys can’t be all that bad.
True, Draco Malfoy’s dad’s much worse.
But I’m going insane, ‘cos I can’t read the news
I’m scared I’ll slip and use
Some irreversible curse!

No matter what the pain
Burning my scar
At least the Dark Lord hasn’t found me
Here so far.

They say Professor Dumbledore always knows best
And… I do not.
I guess that’s true
What can I do?
They’re all I’ve got
No matter what.


3. Fudge (Me)
(Harry goes to the Ministry for his trial, where it seems as though everyone’s already decided he’s guilty until proven innocent. This song is another that was added to the Broadway version of Beauty and the Beast and not in the film.)

UMBRIDGE:
You’ve been praying endlessly
Since the Howler came
That you’d leave the court scot free
Thanks to your big name.
But the Ministry’s not going to budge.
You’ll have to deal with Fudge.

This appeal you have in store
Won’t just ruin you.
Your Headmaster, Dumbledore
Is a target, too.
Thanks to an immensely stubborn grudge
Held by Cornelius Fudge.

HARRY:
There were hooded things galore…

FUDGE:
Inconceivable!

HARRY:
Down by Number Four.

FUDGE:
Unbelievable!
There were no such things on Privet Drive!

HARRY:
And the end was drawing near

FUDGE:
There’s no chance that’s true.

HARRY:
But I made them disappear.

FUDGE:
Phony through and through.

HARRY:
If I hadn’t, Dudley wouldn’t be alive!

MRS. FIGG: (Spoken) Picture this—a sunny day. Two boys, one rather fat, and one a bit on the scrawny side. Big things in cloaks running after … gliding after the boys. There must have been six or seven.

FUDGE: (Spoken) Boys?

MRS. FIGG: (Spoken) No, Dementors! Plain as the nose on my face!

FUDGE: (Spoken) Imagine that.

DUMBLEDORE:
I can tell that you will try
To defame the boy
But Cornelius, I can see
Through your clever ploy.

FUDGE:
Who are you to criticize or judge?

DUMBLEDORE:
True, things have changed
The law’s rearranged
But Voldemort’s come back, Fudge.
No matter who denies
He saw with his own eyes.
You can’t ignore that.

DUMBLEDORE: (Spoken) So, what’ll it be? Is it ‘I’m sorry’ or is it ‘I’m very sorry?’ Harry, you really didn’t deserve this harsh treatment.

HARRY: (Spoken) Who does?

ALL: Fudge!


4. Ron (Belle Reprise)
(Ron has just gotten the Prefect badge over Harry, and everyone is surprised, to say the least.)

FRED: (Spoken) Oh, please, Ron? Can you believe it? They made him a Prefect.

GEORGE: (Spoken) Him? The little spineless… brainless…

HARRY:
A Prefect, Ron?
Can you just see it?
Is Dumbledore a total fool?
And why not me?
I can’t believe it.
I’ve done so much to help his stupid school.

I’ve had adventures that Ron can’t imagine
I’ve done much more than he has done.
Then again, it might be wise
To allow some other guys
To experience a moment in the sun…


5. Home
Sirius is sulking around 12 Grimmauld Place, angry that Dumbledore won’t let him out of the house. This song was added to the Broadway production.

SIRIUS:
Yeah, sure, I complied
When he said, ‘good dog, stay.’
But I don’t deserve
To lose my freedom in this way
Professor.
If you think your plan will keep me safe
Well then, you’re a fool.
I’ll escape.

Is this home
Is this where I’ll be stuck forever?
I left home as a boy
Now you’ve dragged me back?
And in fact
I was formally banished
From the estate of Black.
Home should not be infested
With things too strange to name.
My heart’s far, far away
Home’s the same.

Is this home?
All this filth that my parents believed in?
Should I look
For the perks of this fetid place?
Just in case
I go stark raving mad
And rip off somebody’s face.
Still, that could be prevented
I know exactly how.
Let me fly far away
Leave right now.

What I’d give to return
To my wild days with Buckbeak.
And to think I complained
That I rarely got to eat.

Is this home?
Every second, my mum’s portrait screeching.
Shut away from the world
Until who knows when.
Hey, but then
I escaped prison once
And I can do that again.

Bar every door and window
Swallow the only key.
Do you think that’ll ever stop me?
Soon I’ll be far away
Home and free!


6. Home (Reprise)

SIRIUS:
Why not come live with me?

HARRY:
I really hope I can.

SIRIUSL
If anyone can make the most of this dungheap
Then, man
It’s you.
And who knows?
You may find
Home here, too.


7. Umbridge (Gaston)
Back at Hogwarts, Umbridge has made her presence known and is bent on changing pretty much everything.

UMBRIDGE:
Gosh, it disturbs me to see that this school
Truly has gone to the dogs.
If they were wise, they’d let me run the school
Before Dumbledore pops his clogs.
I’m sure you’re all raptly admiring me
Because just between you and I
I’m what every teacher aspires to be
And it’s not very hard to see why!
No one thinks like Umbridge
Matches pinks like Umbridge

HARRY:
No one’s social intelligence stinks like Umbridge!

UMBRIDGE:
For there’s no one in town half as forceful
What I desire, I gain.
I won’t even be mildly remorseful
When I’m causing my students unbearable pain.
Who loves Fudge like Umbridge?
Holds a grudge like Umbridge?

HARRY:
Who’s encased in a thick layer of pudge like Umbridge?

UMBRIDGE:
I am planning and pruning and innovating!

GRYFFINDORS:
Why won’t she die, that Umbridge?

UMBRIDGE:
That’s fifty-five detention slips.

GRYFFINDORS:
Umbridge and her minions are thick-headed dips!

UMBRIDGE:
Who has skill like Umbridge
Or a quill like Umbridge?

HARRY:
Who do I really wish I could kill? Yes, Umbridge!
Well, there’s no one as toadlike and dumpy
No one else has such horrible hair.
No one else wears their jumpers so lumpy.

GRYFFINDORS:
That’s right—the scariest part is her kitten-themed lair!

UMBRIDGE:
Who’s a gem like Umbridge?
Says ‘hem-hem’ like Umbridge?

HARRY:
Who’s mentality’s “us versus them� like Umbridge?

UMBRIDGE:
I enjoy giving more ‘T’s than ‘E’s when grading!

ALL:
Why won’t she die, that Umbridge?

UMBRIDGE:
When I was a girl, I made four dozen rules
When I babysat children at first.
But now that I’m grown, I’ve made nine dozen rules
I’m like Orwell’s Big Brother, but worse!
No one’s smart like Umbridge
Warms the heart like Umbridge.

HARRY:
No one makes lousy teaching an art like Umbridge?

UMBRIDGE:
Harry Potter’s incredibly irritating!

ALL:
Why won’t she die, Umbridge?



8. Umbridge Reprise (Gaston Reprise)
Umbridge has reported her findings to Fudge, and they plan to do all in their power to have Dumbledore removed from his position as Headmaster.

UMBRIDGE:
Cornelius, my dear, I’ve been thinking.

FUDGE:
Ooh, I’ve never tried that!

UMBRIDGE:
I know.
But that wacky old coot is Headmaster
And I feel that it’s time he should go.
Now Lord Voldemort’s come back, according
To that senile, unbalanced old man.
And it looks like he might cause an uproar, my dear
Unless we can develop a plan!
If I…

FUDGE:
Yes?

UMBRIDGE:
Then we…

FUDGE:
Would he?

UMBRIDGE:
Guess!

FUDGE:
Now I get it!

BOTH:
Let’s go!

MINISTRY WORKERS:
Who can plan like Umbridge?

UMBRIDGE:
No one can like Umbridge!

MINISTRY WORKERS:
Who can lock up an innocent man like Umbridge?

UMBRIDGE:
Yes, I’m brimming with lovely ideas
For immediate widespread reform.
Albus Dumbledore, so long, I’ll see ya.
While you’re gone, guess I’ll keep the Headmaster’s chair warm!

MINISTRY WORKERS:
Who can please like Umbridge?
Repartees like Umbridge?
Who can make up these endless decrees like Umbridge?

FUDGE:
His retirement soon we’ll be celebrating.

UMBRIDGE:
Dumbles, bye-bye!

MINISTRY WORKERS:
Umbridge!


9. How Long Must This Go On?
Harry is angry and exhausted after another weird dream. This is a song that was added to the Broadway production.

HARRY:
How long must this go on?
These weirdly vivid dreams?
I see with perfectly acute precision
And then the dream is gone
All in my head, it sems
And my scar aches like it’s a fresh incision.
Why now?
Is there no one
Who’ll believe me
Who can understand this vision?


10. The D.A. (Be Our Guest)
Harry and his friends have formed the D.A. and are quite pleased with it… but Umbridge is on the prowl! This song is based on the movie version of “Be Our Guest� and not the ridiculously long Broadway version. Also, the beginning of this song is very similar to the one I wrote in “The Phoenix of the Order.� That was on purpose!

HARRY:
The D.A., the D.A.
That’s why we’re all here today.
If it wasn’t for our meetings here
I doubt we’d chose to stay.
Now the dumb Ministry’s
Put up all these new decrees
Every action’s dubbed imprudence
Don’t believe me? Ask the students!
We can’t fly
Can’t do spells
All in all, it’s not so swell
And complaining means detention for a day.
But we’ve arranged a club now
Which I proudly dub now
The D.A., the D.A., the D.A.!

D.A. MEMBERS:
Brand new spells, dueling tricks

HARRY:
Gaining strength… impressing chicks...
We’ll prepare, perform with flair
Add something rare into the mix.

D.A. MEMBERS:
We’re alone, and we’re scared
Umbridge left us unprepared
We’ve no hands-on practice dueling
Thanks to theory-centered schooling.
We rehearse behind doors
With our fellow Gryffindors
What she doesn’t know, she cannot take away!

HARRY:
Come on and lift your wand!

D.A. MEMBERS:
We’ve all grown very fond
Of the D.A.
When it’s grey
It’s what brightens up our day,
The D.A., the D.A., the D.A.!

HARRY:
Life is so perplexing--
Though I’m focused teaching hexing
I’m a mess
When I address
That girl, Cho Chang.
I just wish that I could be coherent
Suddenly, I’m drooling just like Fang.

CHO:
Six months, Cedric’s been dead
I can’t get it out of my head
But this exercise, this change to use my skills
Makes me want to dance around the castle
Makes me feel alive now
Makes me feel I can survive now!

UMBRIDGE:
The D.A.? The D.A.?
Why, I don’t know what to say!
What Dumbledore has got in store
Must be stopped now, I’ll find a way.
With this group must be more
All in league with Dumbledore.
He’s insane, I always knew it
Good thing Harry Potter blew it.
I’ll get help, lots and lots

MARIETTA:
I can’t cure these wretched spots!

UMBRIDGE:
How could he start up an army? Well, he’ll pay!
I’ve got a lot to do
Miss Edgecomb, I owe you
For the D.A.

HARRY:
The D.A.!

UMBRIDGE:
The D.A.!

HARRY:
The D.A.!

D.A. MEMBERS:
The D.A., the D.A.
It’s not merely child’s play!
We all do what we can do
To keep Lord Voldemort at bay.
Fight with grace, fight with ease.

HERMIONE:
Neville, dear, that spell makes cheese.

D.A. MEMBERS:
Though the danger’s always growing
This will help us to keep going.

HARRY:
Curse by curse
Spell by spell
‘Till you’re fighting so darn well
You can blow a dueling champion away!

UMBRIDGE:
Tonight we’ll sleep contented
Knowing we’ve prevented
The D.A.

HARRY:
The D.A.

UMBRIDGE:
The D.A.

ALL:
It’s the D.A.!


11. If You Won’t Listen (If I Can’t Love Her)
Snape is furious because Harry is not doing well in his Occlumency lessons and is still having odd dreams because he’s not paying attention to Snape’s instructions. This song was added to the Broadway version.

HARRY:
And in his twisted face
There’s not the slightest trace
Of anything that even hints of mercy.
That cold look in his eye
Like he wants me to die
Is scary, maybe even more than Percy.

SNAPE:
Hopeless
Can’t you learn this?
I’ll adjourn this
Session, but it seems
You’re helpless
Unprotected
I expected
You’d be having more dreams.
No warning can move you
No practice improve you
I can’t do a thing
If you won’t listen.
How else can I reach you?
There’s no way to teach you.
You could fight him off
Could seal your mind tight shut.
But if you won’t try
So what?

(Time passes. Harry finds Snape’s Pensieve and sees his worst memory. It bothers him, but not as much as it does Snape, who is completely outraged.)

HARRY:
How I wish I hadn’t seen
Scenes of Snape at age sixteen.
It’s been weeks, but I still can’t move onward!

SNAPE:
How could he be ruder?
How now can I tutor
That insolent boy
Who just won’t listen?
My words can’t correct him
How can I protect him
When every day
I’m forced to be unkind?
I know soon he’ll find
If I can’t teach him
Voldemort will have his mind!

1. Something There
(Harry’s dreams about the Department of Mysteries are only getting stronger. His teachers are concerned.)

HARRY:
There’s something there
Within my reach
And it’s been preying on my thoughts
Like some huge leech.
And it’s so near
Just through that door.
I know there’s something there that wasn’t there before.

It’s something Voldy wants to take
That’s why he tried to murder Arthur with his snake.
He left him lying on the floor
To look for something there that that wasn’t there before.

New, ever growing stranger
All those dreams I have where Voldemort is me.
True, it could bring me danger
But I have to feed my curiosity!

DUMBLEDORE (AND MCGONAGALL IN PARENTHESES):
Well who can guess (Who has a clue?)
Who can explain (Well, who indeed?)
Just what is going on inside this young man’s brain? (It isn’t normal)

BOTH:
It’s something we cannot ignore.
There may be something there that wasn’t there before.

SNAPE:
I know there’s something there that wasn’t there before.

HARRY:
What is that something there that wasn’t there before?


2. Ruling Again (Human Again)
(Voldemort and the Death Eaters are excited about their impending rule of the world.)

VOLDEMORT:
I’ll be thrilling again
I’ll be killing again
With a fully armed wand in each hand.
When I’m ruling again
Oh, yes, ruling again
All the world will jump at my command.
Interlopin’ again
In the open again
As the conqueror of all the land…
And some liquid bits, too
When my dreams all come true—
I can’t wait to be ruling again!

DEATH EATERS:
When we’re ruling again
Oh, yes, ruling again
When we’re convicts and jailbirds no more
We’ll have parties galore
We’ll unseat Dumbledore
Finish what we began in Book Four!
We’ll wear black cloaks and masks
And if anyone asks
Whose society we’re working for
We’ll reply with smug snorts
And say, “Lord Voldemort’s!
Our support’s made him ruling again!�

FUDGE:
When he’s ruling again
Oh, yes, ruling again
When he’s running amok and at large
I’ll be cautious at first
But if worst comes to worst
I suppose I’ll show them who’s in charge.
From my Minister’s seat
I shall prop up my feet
And announce, it was all a mirage.
No, the Dark Lord’s not back!
Deaths were all caused by Black.
I’m no hack—he’s not ruling again.

DEATH EATERS:
So set his mark in the sky
Dust off your black hooded cloak
I can tell, I can feel
All our dreams become real
Any day now.
A lot of Mudbloods will die
A lot of Muggles will croak
If it all goes as planned
Our time may be at hand
Any day now.
Scope out some plots at the cemetery!

VOLDEMORT:
Everybody get ready for me!

ORDER OF THE PHOENIX:
All of our fears
These past fourteen years
Are coming to be!

DEATH EATERS:
When we’re ruling again
Oh yes, ruling again
When the boy retrieves that prophecy
We’ll be dueling again
We’re not fooling again
We’ll take over the whole Ministry.
We will blossom again
We’ll be awesome again
And we’ll cause ‘em to scream and to flee.
When we get out of jail
No more law our tail
When we’re all that we were
When these things do occur
Coming closer and closer and closer and closer
Closer and closer and…

We’ll be dancing again
We’ll be singing again
We’ll be flinging death spells everywhere.
When we’re ruling again
Oh yes, ruling again
In a world that no Mudbloods will share.
We’ll be smiling again
We’ll be grinning again
We’ll be sinning with nary a care.

VOLDEMORT:
Like the king of the hill
So much fresh blood to spill
When that Potter boy dies
When my star’s on the rise
And I’ll finally be ruling again!


3. St. Mungo’s Closed Ward (Maison des Lunes)
(I know this scene happened much earlier in the book, but I had to write a song about it, and it went so terribly well with this song. Maison des Lunes is one of those songs that was added to the Broadway musical. Anyway, this is the “Christmas In The Closed Ward� sequence, and imagine that Neville pronounces ‘Voldemort’ with the proper French pronunciation—‘Voldemore.’)

GILDEROY:
When a man like me, admired
So esteemed and so adored
Becomes forcefully retired
Neglected, ignored
It can make his spirits start to sink
And it makes a fellow start to think
About how much his days here stink
At St. Mungo’s closed ward.

HARRY:
There’s a woman here who’s barking
With her whole face full of fur.
There’s a man with crazy markings
In the cot next to her.
There’s some who just look blank and bored
And some who look like they’ve been gored
By Snorcacks, or stabbed with a sword
At St. Mungo’s closed ward.

RON:
Harry, look it’s Neville over there
Are his parents… whoa…

HARRY:
Ron shut up! And don’t stare!

LOCKHART:
Tell me, why am I here still?
Is it ‘cos I’m so famous?
It’s a dreadful place
Hardly any lace
Or frills…

NEVILLE:
No, their minds don’t work like they used to
They were damaged to the core
On the night that they refused to
Give in to Voldemort.
But even though they’ve both gone mad
I’m not ashamed of mum and dad
And that just makes it twice as sad
At St. Mungo’s closed ward.



4. Harry and Lord V (Beauty and the Beast)

DUMBLEDORE:
Tale as long as life
Five thick books to date
Mortal enemies
Wizards such as these
Terrible or great.

Just a little change
To a slight degree
Means complete control
Of the other’s soul.
Harry and Lord V.

Some ways so alike
Some ways not a bit
So much that they share
So much they don’t dare
Ever to admit.

Tale as long as life
Saga old as dirt.
Each man takes a turn
Both men have to learn
Both of them are hurt.

Certain as the call
Of the augurey
Tale as long as life
Struggle old as strife
Harry and Lord V.

Tale as long as life
Struggle old as strife
Harry and Lord V.



5. The Mob Song
(Harry has his dream about Sirius in the Department of Mysteries, and he and his friends set off to find him.)

HARRY: Pretty soon, he may be dead
He won’t last it through the night
If we don’t come to the rescue
And go join him in the fight.
If we don’t get there in time
Then he’ll be ancient history
So it’s time to take some action and it’s time to follow me.

Through the door, cross the grounds
Through the dark, forbidden forest
Leading Umbridge ever deeper still inside.
Let’s hope Grawp’s power stops
Her from finding there’s no weapon
Or she’s realize far too quickly that we lied.
Hey, it’s centaurs, they’re coming to greet her
And by ‘greet,’ I mean more like ‘attack.’
See them charge, see her scream
Now let’s work as a team--
He’s not dead
Not yet dead
We’ll rescue Black.

ALL:
Light your wand, mount your horse

HERMIONE:
Even though they are invisible.

RON:
We’re counting on you, mate, to lead the way.

ALL:
Through the mist, through the wood
Flying farther from the castle
Hoping we’ll arrive before the break of day.

HARRY:
He’s been tortured and beaten and broken
We won’t rest ‘till he’s come safely back.
Now descend, time to land
Grab your wand!

RON:
Grab my hand!

HERMIONE:
Beyond what I understand …
I don’t like what I see
All these rooms are strange and eerie.

RON:
And it’s plain whoever built this place was whack.
Hey, it’s brains!
Harry, see?

HERMIONE:
Ron, don’t touch those.

RON:
Agh, help me!

HERMIONE:
This is scary…

HARRY:
I agree.
Let’s rescue Black!

ALL:
Here we go through the door
And we’re in the Hall of Prophecies
All lined up in tidy rows upon a rack.

HARRY:
Raise your wand
Come along
We’re in danger, but be strong
I know my dreams are never wrong.
We’ll rescue Black!

ALL:
Rescue Black!
Rescue Black?

HERMIONE:
Where is Black?


6. The Battle
Harry looks around. Sirius is nowhere to be seen in the Hall of Prophecies, and something is clearly not right.

RON:
This place gives me the creeps.

HARRY:
Shh!

RON:
Well, it does.

HERMIONE:
Shut up.

NEVILLE:
I want to go home…

(Suddenly, Death Eaters appear out of nowhere)

DEATH EATERS:
Boo!

D.A. MEMBERS:
Eeek!

DEATH EATERS:
Arrrgh!

D.A. MEMBERS:
No!

BELLATRIX:
Charge!

DEATH EATERS:
Yeeeeeah!

(Huge madcap battle scene full of screams and war whoops, playing to disconcertingly cheerful instrumental music.)

BELLATRIX:
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! (Stops suddenly and looks at Neville for a second)
You know, you’re kind of cute. Shoots a curse at him

NEVILLE:
Aaaagh!

Back over in Voldemort-land, Wormtail alerts his master as to what exactly is going on.

WORMTAIL:
Pardon me, master…

VOLDEMORT:
Leave me at peace.

WORMTAIL:
But the boy is in the Ministry of Magic! He’s going to get the prophecy!

VOLDEMORT:
That doesn’t matter-- let him come. It’s all part of my plan. I’ll be there… momentarily.

WORMTAIL:
Yes, sir!

(Back in the Ministry, the Order of the Phoenix has appeared to help Harry and his friends, and the madcap fighting music continues as they take on Death Eaters individually. The Prophecy smashes and Harry tries to pull Neville up the stairs.)

BELLATRIX: (Running up to Sirius)
You look like you could use a good kick in the pants.

SIRIUS: (Aiming a spell back at her)
Ha, no chance! Here you go!

BELLATRIX: (Aiming for Sirius)
Take that, you blood traitor scum!

SIRIUS:
Ha, you can do better than that!

BELLATRIX:
AVADA KEDAVRAAAAAAAAAA!

(The spell hits Sirius and he falls through the veil).

HARRY:
Aaaaaaagh!



7. If I Can’t Save Him
Sirius has fallen through the veil and Harry has finally realized that he really is gone and is not coming back. I pushed this song two songs later than it is in the real show for full impact.

HARRY:
No risk could be higher
No crisis as dire.
No point anymore
If I can’t save him.
No hope for tomorrow
No feeling but sorrow
I don’t even care
If they all see me cry.
Since I know that I
Brought him here to die…
And I never said goodbye.


8. The Beginning (End Duet/Transformation/Beauty and the Beast Reprise)
(Back at Hogwarts, Harry is still depressed about losing Sirius and doesn’t know what to do with himself. This is the finale of the Broadway production of Beauty and the Beast.)

NEARLY-HEADLESS NICK:
He’s gone home
He is where he will be forever.
He’s no ghost
Harry, he’s really gone away.
He—

HARRY:
Don’t say
That he did what he had to
Paid what he had to pay.
He never had to fight or
Go to the Ministry.
He left home
Left his home
To help me.

(Harry goes to Dumbledore’s office and starts screaming and throwing things around, then finally calms down a bit.)

HARRY:
Why won’t you meet my eyes?
Sir, do you recognize
A glimpse of Voldemort deep down inside me?

DUMBLEDORE:
And so it’s begun now
Two minds become one now.
I’ve theorized, of course
And now I know it’s true.
I’ll tell you…
Harry, it is time
Time for me to say
What I always feared
Saying all these years
Up until today.
Tale as long as life
Struggle old as strife
Harry and Lord V.



9. A Change In Me
(This song is one of Belle’s big numbers in the Broadway production of Beauty and the Beast, but was added to the show after it opened, so it is not on the original cast recording.)

HARRY:
There’s been a change in me
A kind of moving on
I know the prophecy
Although it’s smashed and gone.
And now I understand
And now I realize
It may not make me glad
But maybe I’ve grown wise.

And I…I know it started as a tie
And Neville could have been the guy
Who would be making history.
It could have been…
But he chose me.

And in my dark despair
Somehow I understood
Just yelling, ‘That’s no fair!’
Can never do much good.
So no more tantrums and
No cursing fate allowed.
Instead, I’ll try to stand
And make my parents proud.

And I know one of us is going to die.
I might not win, but I will try
My view was dim, but now I see
No other choice, a change in me.
A changing world, a change in me.
